Habits

I’m in the process of trying to change my habits. The biggest one for me is my sleeping habits. After more than 20 years of working night shifts I’m having a very hard time keeping a regular somewhat ‘normal’ sleep schedule. I do okay for a week or so ( and by this I mean going to bed by 2AM and getting up at 10 AM) but then I slowly start to creep into staying up later. If I get going with writing, or reading something good, then it totally gets blown to hell and I stay up until 5, 6 or 7.
Why am I doing this? Because my Dr told me it would really help with my focus and with my fat loss efforts. Why am I talking about it today? Because I just woke up and I’m really trying to stay awake but my brain hasn’t quite made it awake yet, so I can;t think of anything else to really talk about. *blush*
Plus, if you’re hanging out on my blog I’m thinking you want to get to know me better, and it’s okay to simply babble. Am I wrong?
The other big thing on my mind lately is what to write. I’ve got so many stories started I’m driving myself crazy. Normally I don’t think too much when I start a story because I like to just get into it, but for whatever reason, that’s not working this time. I think I might just get drunk tonight and start writing. Sometimes that helps me get past my thinking too much problem. Hey, I know it sounds bad, but I’m not talking slobering drunk, just a few drinks , enough to you know, loosen up. It helps my characters loosen up too.;)
